Specialized, hyperlocal consultants in your neighborhood

Florida’s 27^th Congressional District encompasses the City of Miami, Coral Gables and runs south through Westchester and Kendall to Cutler Bay. According to 2019 Census estimates, of Miami-Dade County’s over 86,000 business establishments, 33,000 reside in District 27. Whether the businesses are retail, construction, restaurant/hospitality or professional services, all were impacted in some way by the pandemic and still need assistance with growth and pivoting their businesses.

To address these key needs in FL-District 27, the Florida Small Business Development Center (FSBDC) at Florida International University has secured funding from the U.S. Business Administration (SBA) to expand its successful Business Growth and Acceleration Program (BizGap) to District 27. BizGap will dedicate business consultants to assist small businesses located within District 27 with in-community and in-language consulting and training in key areas, such as government contracting, access to capital, financial literacy, and startup assistance. This community-focused approach will help District 27 small businesses start, grow and succeed.
